Galilee

In ancient times, the Galilee was full of vineyards and was considered the best area for growing grapes in the region. Kings, emperors and nobles visited the Galilee to enjoy the exquisite wines.

Today, thousands of years later, the Galilee is still Israel´s finest wine making region. We at Chateau de Galilee are proud to uphold the local tradition and make this quality wine while using the most advanced technologies.

The Label

 
Tzippori was an ancient city in the center of the Galilee, and had been a Jewish settlement since the time of the Hashmonaim up to the 5th century. The synagogue in Tzippori evokes the feeling of being a part of a famous, long-gone community - a community that lived in different cultured environment than our own.

The golden rings on our wine label are taken from the famous mosaic of the Tzippori synagogue floor. There are 3 languages found in the mosaic: Hebrew - the holy language of the Torah, Greek - the international government language and Aramaic- the spoken language among the Jews of the time.

About the Winery

Chateau de Galilee is the fruition of a dream of Yossi Ben Odis -  the most experienced sommelier in Israel. As a 12 year old boy, Yossi worked in a winery's warehouse to finance horseback riding - his passion at the time. Yossi dreamed of a wine series of his own that would encourage wine production in the Galilee and would create more jobs in northern Israel.
 
Today, the sommelier launches the 2016 vintage by Chateau de Galilee winery. The wines can be purchased at quality restaurants and boutique shops in Israel and abroad.

The 2016 collection includes a variety of quality wines from the fine Upper Galilee's vineyards. The manual harvest allows a careful and meticulous handling of the grapes.
